No recent posts that I could find. Need some recos for restaurants in BA and Mendoza. Or other useful info. Do most restaurants accept credit cards?
In Buenos Aires, Aramburu is stellar. I also love the atmosphere and food at Don Julio (steak). We’ve been to about 10 other places in Buenos Aires but those two were memorable enough we visited them again on subsequent trips. Visa and Mastercard are accepted in all but a few restaurants we visited. Be sure to hit the various ice cream shops in Buenos Aires to find your favorite flavor from your favorite chain or indy shop!
I was in BA in December. This place was so good, we went back night after night 
.
The chargrilled sweetbreads were one of the greatest preparations of sweetbreads I’ve ever had, totally different than what you are used to. The house special skirt steak was one of the best beef experiences I’ve had in recent memory. Since then my best friend went there with his wife and this place was a very big highlight of the trip.
The sweetbreads!!!
In Mendoza:
Azafran is a wonderful old classic, I just looked at their website and see that they now have a Michelin star! I haven’t been in about 10 years, but back then you could order wine by the glass or walk into a little room up front containing a few hundred wines on the shelves, with prices. Pick the bottle you want and bring it to your table. You could get good advice, not concentrated on upselling.
Don Mario outside of downtown has the best grilled goat you are likely to find anywhere. All of the food is good and there is a very good wine list. Just remembered: There are two ‘Don Marios’. The one you want is in Dorrego.
If you come across someone you would say dude too. Substitute Pibe. (Pee-bay)
Gracias Pibe… some slang for ya.
1884 is a Mallmann so has to be pretty good.
Try the pizza… they put unpitted olives as a garnish so be careful.
Also the leather! They have beautiful leather shops.
Be careful in populated tourist areas. It’s actually a pretty poor region so sticky fingers get at some appropriation.
Terrazas is beautiful… the tanks set in the brick plus love the collab with Cheval Blanc.
Also one of the best ecologists I’ve worked with is at Ojo de Agua… would say worth a visit if she’s working there.
